Cost of baby?

Just curious how much it will cost everyone to have their LO? I was so excited today when I found out my insurance is covering everything except $50. It also includes the cost of circumcision. The lady behind the desk was floored at how much my insurance covered. So, I guess that's why I'm curious to see the average cost for most.

We only have paid $40 for ultrasounds (we've had 3 so $120). We don't have any other co-pay with the doctor or hospital! I'm so thankful my husband has excellent insurance for us. We've both said if he ever leaves his job, we would have another baby first ;)

With the exception of my initial OB (specialist) visit of $30, everything else (visits, L&D, stay and well baby up to a year) is covered 100%. My appointments with two other specialists (perinatologists and endocrinologists) incur a $30 fee each visit.

$750 is my hospital admittance copay... I pay $20 any time I go in. The baby is covered for the first month under my insurance but who knows how much that will cost us! No one will give me that info until he is born... :-(

We have private insurance since my husband and I are each entrepreneurs with our own startups. In the state Olof areas, there are no maternity benefits for private insurance, so we are paying everything out of pocket. :( I think around 2,500 to the dr and about 5,000 to the hospital - that's for natural vaginal delivery with no meds or complications. I'm definitely praying I can make it through with no meds & no complications, but we'll see! Your insurance sounds AWESOME!
